Wesleyan Methodist Chapel Sandown Lane

Image: © Sue Adair Taken: 9 Apr 2021

A barn belonging to William Hope was registered for worship as early as 1806. In 1837 a Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built in Sandown Lane but as it proved unpopular it was converted to a school. In 1873 a new chapel was built in Olive Vale Victoria Park, it closed in 1950 and was later sold to the Church of England as a new home for St. Mary's Church, whose former building had been blitzed.
